Escape Plan (2013)

Escape Plan Synopsis

Action superstars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up in the action-thriller Escape Plan. Ray Breslin (Stallone), the world's foremost authority on structural security, agrees to take on one last job: breaking out of an ultra-secret, high-tech facility called "The Tomb." But when he is wrongly imprisoned, he must recruit fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger) to help devise a daring, nearly impossible plan to escape from the most protected and fortified prison ever built.

Whether it be for prank calling purposes or simply our own personal amusement, those Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboards exist for a reason. The Austrian actor has a distinctive accent and a vast catalog of great movie lines. And while many of us probably think we do a pretty great Schwarzenegger impersonation, none are quite as spot-on as the man himself.

We’re over our illnesses around the Rotten House and kicking things back into gear. It feels good to be pulled back from the brink of existence. Just in time for a hodgepodge of movies. This week we’ve got prison escapes, leakers and a night out at the prom

Escape Plan once went by the cool, recognizable title of The Tomb. Despite the name shift, the film’s still worth your time, particularly if you used to worship at the altar of the types of movies Stallone and Schwarzenegger made in their heyday. The movie opens in theaters on Oct. 18.

“If you don't like this movie, I'm going to personally come up there and beat your brains in.” That was Sylvester Stallone greeting a theater filled with action-film geeks at a special advanced screening of Escape Plan, introduced by “The Italian Stallion” and his equally legendary partner in crime, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As I can tell from the trailer and the plot synopsis, the film, written by Miles Chapman and Arnell Jesko, stars Stallone as Ray Breslin, a security professional who knows how to break out of absolutely every known prison. When he is about to retire, he chooses to take one last mission at a facility known as The Tomb: a completely under the radar, extremely high-tech prison built for some of the worst, most dangerous criminals in the world.

Escape Plan has its own nostalgic draw, taking two iconic action stars and setting them up in a Prison Break-like scenario. Above is the new poster for the film, which shows stars Schwarzenegger and Stallone locked up, their backs to one another while they're locked up in "the most secure prison ever built," where "no one breaks out alone."

Big Expendables 3 news dropped last week when it was revealed that Nicolas Cage, Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes and Milla Jovovich were all in talks to join the ensemble cast, but one important question that remained was "when?" Today Lionsgate has answered the question.

Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate Films merged as one company this year and now even their release date announcements and changes are coming together as well. Today the joint studios announced when we will see Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone team up again and that it will be a little while longer until we see both The Big Wedding and Now You See Me.

Even though he's finished his stint running the world's eighth-largest economy (better known as "California"), Arnold Schwarzenegger is about to be more visible in the spotlight than he has since the 90s, as he launches his cinematic comeback with a whole lot of explosions. Up first is this weekend's The Expendables 2

If you just can't get enough of the action stars of the 1980s, then chances are you are eagerly awaiting the opening of The Tomb, a prison-set action flick that co-stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. This high-octane thriller has Stallone playing Ray Breslin, an expert in structural security

The movie's producer Mark Canton, who has helped create such action epics as 300 and Immortals, recently divulged this casting news on The Matthew Aaron Show. He also gave a bit more detail to Schwarzenegger's character, revealing that he will aid in Stallone's escape attempt, meaning rather than Rambo and The Terminator facing off in The Tomb, they'll essentially join forces to defy Jesus Christ and break out of stir!

Swedish director Mikael Håfström, best known for the horror thriller The Rite and 1408, is contemplating an upcoming project titled The Tomb, with action icon Sylvester Stallone interested in the lead role. But it’s Stallone’s potential co-star that has the Internet buzzing this afternoon.

It would seem that Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone share more than a history as badass '80s action heroes and a scene in last summer's The Expendables. While Willis and Schwarzenegger were both attached to the film at one point, it is now Stallone who will be starring in The Tomb.

It looks like Arnold may be returning to what he does best after all; according to THR he is deep into negotiations with Lionsgate to make The Last Stand, a crime thriller in which he'd star as a bordertown sheriff trying to stop a Mexican drug cartel leader from crossing the border
